Nice work Alec; I like the fact that you've got some of the surroundings in #1.

Thanks . The first is my favourite as well. It took me about 10 shots to get that one without someone walking into it mid frame.

Photography would be so much easier if the rest of the world would just stay out of our way!

GET OFF OUR LAWNS!

Does anybody know the names of any particular firework? I think it would add something if we knew the names of them. Who do we ask? Somebody, somewhere ought to know the names.

(edit) found a glossary:

Fireworks Glossary

and another one with images:

Phantom Fireworks Fireworks University Fireworks Glossary

and some chemistry:

Names and Functions of Chemical Elements in Fireworks
